A long distance friendship fueled by food

I have so many posts to catch up on! My first holiday season as a vegan was not without challenges but overall was a success. I threw a cocktail party and my guests didn’t seem to miss the meat and dairy too much. Navigating a fancy gala Christmas party was much harder (good thing I ate before we went). I also prepared some fun dishes to take to my family Christmas dinner. I’ll post these recipes and pictures over the next few days.

The first recipe was one I concocted for my husband and I as we watched our favourite Christmas movies – Love Actually, Elf and Four Christmases.

Potato Skins

Bake the potatoes in the oven, cut into wedges and scoop out most of the potato.

Place wedges onto a cookie sheet, brush lightly with oil and sprinkle on salt and pepper.

Broil for 5 minutes until potatoes begin to crisp.

Remove from oven and sprinkle on vegan cheese (we love Daiya for anything needing to be melted – we do not love it cold!!) and coconut bacon.

About

We became friends ten years ago when we briefly worked together selling clothes. Despite now living with the mountains and ocean separating us, we have maintained a long-distance bond by sharing our love of cooking, creating and sharing our kitchen successes and failures. Since we are constantly sending each other pictures and recipes we thought we would create a space to share them with the rest of the internet.
